Presentation Title:

“Start as you mean to go on”

Presentation Synopsis:
The key challenge for fast-growing businesses is laying the groundwork to scale the business effectively while maintaining customer service and support. Starting as you mean to go on is great advice but lack of funds and a desire to solve short term issues quickly means that many businesses understandably start off on the wrong footing with a myriad of different internal systems growing as they grow. Ray will advise on the efficiency and effectiveness of your start-up and how it will be impacted depending on the software you choose, so getting it right is vital.

Ray believes that cloud solutions are having a real impact on the bottom line and OSSM Cloud is excited to work with businesses to help them escalate their growth plans by making the correct business system decisions early in the planning and growth process.

Speaker Bio:

After 30 years and 6 successful different business start-ups, Ray has guided hundreds of companies through the ever changing world of business software. Now founder and CEO of OSSM Cloud Solutions (Dublin-based NetSuite Partner), Ray is passionate about helping businesses to grow, with the right tools.
From Unix Networking environments through to Cloud and from accounting ledgers to CRM and eCommerce, he has gained a wealth of knowledge and experience in implementing business software solutions for growing companies.
His vision of “start as you mean to go on” has had significant impact with start-ups, particularly fast-growing start-ups. These business owners want to sow the seeds now for the future and don’t want to be faced with a cross-roads or even worse a cul-de-sac with their internal systems just at the point when their business starts to grow at pace. Ray firmly believes that software systems should be facilitating your growth, not holding your business back.
